Personally, the less CGI or VFX or whatever you want to call it in a movie the better. It's not just to set a mood, it's to cover the defects. A lot of SciFi is shot dark, in the rain etc. Noticed this myself of course, the higher the resolution, the crappier the CGI looks. What this means is that the two real 4K examples were taken from the original print and mastered in 4K during the entire. Some surprises - example, The Accountant, 2016 - FAKE 4K. As resolution increases, CGI is becoming less convincing. Found this site that will tell you if a 4k bluray version of a movie is really 4k or just an upscaled version of the 2k master. The final scene shows Sophie waking up, having been adopted by two of the palace servants, and talking about how she dreamt she saw the BFG dream blowing. Now with the stunning clarity of 2K and 4K (and even more so with HFR), we’re starting to see the cracks in the pavement. The BFG movie ends with the BFG standing up to the other giants and then contacting the queen and helping her to send them to 'a place youve never heard of, where youll never go'. Filmmakers furthered the illusion by purposely compositing CGI into poorly lit scenes and behind elements like smoke and rain. But when the delivery format was celluloid and SD, it masked the imperfections of CGI and made everything look more realistic. The move to HD and 4K make CGI less convincing.ĬGI is far from perfect. I took this from an article called 10 reasons why cgi is getting worse.

Depending on the caliber of CG, the final picture quality might be imperceptible to Real 4K."

Typically, if the film has VFX it was rendered in 2K. Everything was digitally shot in 4K or the original 35/70mm film negative was scanned in 4K and all the mastering/editing was done in 4K. It will most likely take years to get to CGI at true 4k. Thinking of how much processor time and storage space it must take to render graphics at 4k I am not shocked.
#Bfg real or fake 4k skin#
I was surprised to find many recent movies are fake 4k.Īs for visual effects as seen in so many movies today, it seems the VFX studios do all their work in 2k, so for example if the rest of the movie is shot in 4k, or taken from film at 4k, the CGI still is 2k and has to be upscaled to 4k. Yes I agree in real world shiny objects or materials exists but as Fox2232 pointed out already not every material is reflective, have look just on concrete or road, it is reflective unless is wet, in dry you hardly see there any reflection, wood as well in real world is not reflective, skin as well doesn't need to reflective, in most renderers I use simple Specular map and turn down.
